NEW LEGISLATION: On August 3, 2011, Governor Markell signed Senate Bill 154, as amended, into law. This bill is the result of the Joint Sunset Committee’s  recommendations. It extensively revises the Real Estate Commission’s licensing law in order to make it consistent with the licensing laws of other Title 24 boards and commissions. In addition, new language and terms coincide with modern practices and provide greater clarity for practitioners and the public. Specifically, the bill replaces and updates provisions relating to

• the Commission’s objectives, powers and duties
• licensure requirements, including reciprocity
• grounds for discipline and sanctions.

The new law’s provisions are effective February 3, 2012, six months after enactment. The Commission has revised its Rules and Regulations to reflect the new law, and Delaware forms (including the licensure applications) and web pages on this site have been updated.

COMMISSION FUNCTION: It is the authority of the Delaware Real Estate Commission (hereafter designated as "the Commission") as provided for in Chapter 29 of 24 Del. C., § 2901-2960 to license and renew the licenses of qualified salesperson and broker applicants. The Commission has appointed an Education Committee to assist it in determining acceptable courses of instruction, seminars and lectures to be submitted to the Commission for approval. The Commission may also discipline any licensee found to be in violation of the licensing statute or the administrative code of the Commission. The Commission is also responsible for review and registration of out of state lands sales developments.

To assure consideration of your license application at the next meeting, the Commission office must receive all of these items no later than 4:30 PM ten full working days before the meeting date:

• Completed, signed and notarized application form
• Fee payment
• All required supporting documentation (see “License Requirements” on the menu to your left).
